My husband and I stayed at the cottage with two other couples and had a fantastic time. The property is beautiful. We really enjoyed the garden (thanks for the onions!) and the view of the water. We spent a lot of time sitting outside at the patio table and enjoying the view. We cooked almost every night and the kitchen was very well stocked, and there were plenty of pots, pans, and dishes. We had minimal interaction with the property management company, but check-in was easy and we didn’t encounter any problems while we were there. One of the couples brought their 13-month old son and really appreciated the toys and books that were available for him. We walked over to Buck Bay Shellfish one day and highly recommend that. It was great shucking oysters outside and enjoying the view. None of us wanted to leave and we would love to go back. Thank you!

Idyllic spot

We spent five days at this lovely, tranquil, idyllic spot where deer and rabbits feel at home and often the only sound is of the hummingbirds lighting on Marilyn’s beautiful flowers. The home has a very welcoming feel. Vases of flowers set out in the spacious rooms, soft light and decor and the large windows enable a view to the wonderful grounds makes this an enchanted place. There is a private beach just a short walk from the house that offers a peaceful respite with its calm waters, seagulls and bald eagles.

Cherry Hill cottage is on a beautiful historical homestead on the more rustic and out-of-the way eastern lobe of the island. The house is beautifully maintained to highlight its history and was cozy, clean, and welcoming. Everything from the drawer pulls in the bathroom to the antique trivets in the kitchen is thoughtfully chosen. It was a fantastic place to stay with little kids--our kiddos loved the small rocking chairs, toy cupboard, and wonderful children's book collection. We enjoyed playing outside on the lawn and in the beautiful flower garden. Just down the road is the Buck Bay shellfish farm, a great spot to stop and grab fresh oysters. You can shuck and eat them right there in the outdoor eating area, or carry them back to the house. This spot is a longer drive from the ferry landing, but close to the Doe Bay resort, with its excellent cafe and soaking tubs, and only a few minutes from Moran State Park. Unlike a lot of house rentals, Cherry Hill's kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with most cooking essentials--olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a wide variety of spices, etc. The owner and property management company were very attentive and communicative, and were even able to hunt down a toy we left behind to get it back to us. Pretty much a perfect place to stay!

My husband and I and two twenty-something children decided to take the Thanksgiving extended weekend and turn it into a family vacation of sorts. Our goal was to be able to relax, cook great meals, spend time together, and if the weather permitted, enjoy everything Orcas Island has to offer. Cherry Hill Cottage was a perfect place to chill out: on a dead-end road with a water view on 20 acres, a totally cool homestead (remodeled) that is tastefully decorated, very cozy, a fabulous kitchen, and loaded with books and videos. It was perfect for the mostly rainy weekend; I can imagine how awesome it would be in sunny weather!! And the quick escape to nearby Orcas Island from Bellingham and Seattle is like going on a vacation without the price of 4 airfares (get a reservation on the ferry to omit stress). I would definitely recommend this place; we hope to go back.

Spacious farmhouse in a lovely corner of Orcas Is

This property has been lovingly maintained by its owners and has among the most generous amenities of any vacation home I have rented. What is memorable: views of the water from the dining area and front yard, the vegetable and flower garden in the front yard, and the wonderful creaks in the old floors and doors. Magnificent stay of four nights for us!
